I was wondering if anyone tried theirs on the wii for some reason my doesn't see it at all. I tried it on both of my wii's. Yes there both modded :). Just wondering if I am doing something wrong. Other than that this thing is great.
Steps I did:
Pluged in the retrode with LoZ
Started my Wii
Went to Homebrew
Started Emulator
Went to USB Storage
Then throws cannot find USB Device. Retry or quit.
Korori
That's odd.
I haven't tried my Retrode 2 out on the Wii (yet)
I just received my Retrode 2 yesterday, so will try it again.
I know my Retrode (Classic) works fine
Ok I verified it works on Retrode 2 still.
Steps I did:
Started my Wii
Went to Homebrew
Pluged in the retrode
Inserted Super Mario World
Started Emulator
Tweaked Load/Save settings (see screenshot)
Went to USB Storage
Selected game
Played Super Mario World
Weird I am still having issues.
Here's a video of me trying. Also I made sure its not the USB ports buy using external hdd that has some roms on it before I tried.

Not sure if this is related I was trying to update the firmware and it read it as unrecognized usb so i tried to use the flip driver usb and Windows keeps prompting me "Windows was unable to install your Unknown Device."
On Step 4/5.
KOrori
if windows wont recognize it in normal mode, the wii wont either.
probably Matthias will have an better answer,
but sounds like the firmware is borked and needs reloaded.
which firmware were you trying?
Retrode2-v0.17c.zip
Retrode2-v0.17b.zip
i hope :)
Windows reads it as normal. I am trying to update to 0.17c. Its when i try to put it in the firmware update mode it doesnt see it.
Korori
I see.
maybe Matthias can figure it out :)

That's quite weird indeed. Maybe you have connected and unplugged (or put to HWB mode) the device fast enough to confuse Windows' driver framework. I'd suggest you hold down both buttons, connect the Retrode to a USB port you haven't used before. After a few seconds, release the Reset button and another two seconds later also the HWB button. Then install the DFU driver as per instructions.
Also, the USB cable you use in the video seems fairly long. Have you tried with a shorter one?
In case all of the above doesn't help, it would be very use to have a lsusb (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Lsusb) transcript.
I tried a shorter one, followed exactly what you said and still showed it as unrecognized usb device. I also pluged it into the wii ran that wii usb program.

The retrode works just cant put it in that HWB mode or hook it to the wii.
Korori
Sorry for the double post. I was able to update the firmware. It was a driver conflict on my pc's :|. Anyways its still not letting me play on my wii even after the update but here is a new dump just in case. They look the same though.

I appreciate you guys helping me out.

It's hard to believe that the HWB mode should be broken on the Retrode (after all, the very same mode was used to flash the initial firmware onto the device). In order to allow Windows to detect/install the Retrode in HWB mode from scratch, I suggest you start the registry editor and locate/delete all records belonging to the Jungo driver: VID 03EB, PID 2FF9. (Since they do not always show up in the same form, try searching for 03EB and check if there's a 2FF9 nearby to make sure you don't accidentally delete the wrong entries.)
Edit: Okay, so the HWB mode is fixed. Maybe you should exchange Wii/Homebrew OS version numbers with FelixV in order to to narrow down the problem.
My Wii info:
Wii System Version 4.1U
Homebrew Version 1.0.8 w/ IOS61 v19.26
SNES9xGx 4.2.9
Korori
Wii System Version 3.2E
Homebrew Version 1.0.8 w/ IOS36 v4.18 (if it aint broke, dont fix it.. it does everything i need)
SNES9xGx 4.2.9 running on ISO:58
(Click the Snes9xGX Logo on the top right and look at bottom left of credits screen for IOS version)
Could be they kicked all sorts of USB drivers out of later Wii System releases, but I really don't know enough about this matter to be of help. Does the system recognize random other USB devices? Do other Wii Homebrew users report about USB problems too?

Do USB drives normally work on *that emulator* on your Wii? Have you modified the IOSes at all (custom IOS packs like cIOSCorp, etc.)?
You could also try updating your Wii, then reinstalling Homebrew Channel to get it to use IOS59. This has USB2.0 support, as opposed to older IOSes (like 61, I think) which don't, so that could be part of the problem - it could be that the Retrode requires USB2.0 support to work, or at least, work with that specific emulator.
[SOLVED]
I downgraded to 3.2U
Upgraded to remove Homebrew Channel.
Use Smash Stack to reinstall Homebrew Channel .
But now it finally see's the device. This means your Homebrew Channel must be lower than IOS61 then in order to use the retrode.
My Specs of right now are:
Wii Version: 4.3U
Homebrew Channel: IOS58 v24.32
SNES9xGx 4.2.9
Thanks to everyone that helped.

Well, I wouldn't jump to conclusions (especially since Nintendo weren't very consistent with their IOS numbering, with IOS59 actually being newer than 61, for instance), but I'm glad you got it working :)
Alright we just say needs to be on IOS58 or IOS59 as of right now. :)
Korori
Glad you got it to work. I hope the OS downgrade doesn't mean too much of an inconvenience to you.
Cheers,
Matthias
Not at all. I rather get retrode to work on it than run some random homebrew on it. :)
Korori
I agree with muzer. probably the emulator was running on an IOS without USB support.
Thats why I asked in an earlier post which IOS the emulator itself was running under, since
as you notice, my HBC was on a different IOS than the emulator.
I am glad you got it to work korori. The genesis emulator should also work.
Thanks muzer and FelixV for helping korori sort this out!
It's IOS 58, trust me. Without IOS 58, USB storage devices (the retrode in this case) won't work. Now you can update the firmware 4.3 to get it. Or you can search for a homebrew app created to download and install it. Also, you need the latest version of the homebrew channel too. The latest one will run on it even if a higher number IOS like IOS 60 is installed.
Edit: One thing to note about updating your system, you should avoid cIOS. Nintendo has patched at least one out so it may cause problems with your system if you have any installed.
Well, USB support was in the older IOSes, but only USB1.1, and I suppose either the Retrode doesn't support USB1.1, or some emulators don't (any more - they obviously used to before IOS58/59 came out).
are you having difficalties updating your retrode2 on a win7 like i did? i had to find the device manager and install the update usb drivers from there because windows wasn't looking or wanting to install usb drivers
